Effect of simulated obstructive hypopnea and apnea on thoracic aortic wall transmural pressures.
Preliminary evidence supports an association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and thoracic aortic dilatation, although potential causative mechanisms are incompletely understood; these may include an increase in aortic wall transmural pressures, induced by obstructive apneas and hypopneas. In p...
